HC Minis - new pics pg 172

He's so little (and young), I'm going to give him just the KMR for a week, then I'll mix the canned in. He ate some before, but then decided it wasn't for him, so kind of quit on me; he's diving in to the KMR, so we'll go with that for right now. He's terribly cute.

What a little darling, so glad you were able to save him. More pics please - when you have the time!

 

[chandab]

Not great, since I can't seem to get more than a step or two away from him, but here you go.

 

[AnnaC]

Oh Wow! He's just so tiny, bless him!

Awwww, he's adorable. Just keep us up to date on how "Squawky" is doing.

I think our kittens were a little older when they were found and given to us. We didn't have KMR - but mixed milk with tuna (what we had on hand) and gave them that at first. They were born in 1999, and one, Tigger, is still with us. She's 14 now and starting to act rather senile but most of the time still eats ok (sometimes she "gorges" on dry cat food and makes herself sick - yuk). She's always been an indoor cat. We may have to go to canned food for her eventually, but I'm trying to avoid that as long as possible. She sleeps a lot more than she used to, but will still play "random cat orbits" - bouncing off the walls and the backs of the couch and loveseat as she races around. She will still chase the red mark of a laser pointer - tho not as heartily as a year ago. Every now and then she gets totally annoying - meowing loud and constantly (she trying to hear herself or what?) and then we set her outside on the front porch for a bit. She doesn't like it, will explore a little bit but will also jump up to look thru the windows and meow some more. She always comes back in a little quieter and with her tail "poofed". She doesn't wander far from the porch...

Those photos are adorable

He's so itty bitty!

Got a call tonight from a hard of hearing grandpa inquiring about the boys, so he said he'd have his grandson call so he could get the information. Grandson called and I gave him the information, and we'll see if anything comes of it. They are in the Casper, WY area, so quite a ways from me; at least a days drive one-way (probably).

Got a return call tonight asking for pictures. The grandson called, asked if I could send to his phone, I don't know how to do that; but told him I can send via e-mail or snail mail; he gave me an e-mail addy. I typed up a letter with info on the colts (description and price), attached a couple pics of each colt (2-day old pic, this summer pic, one of them running together and one from their registration papers), my location and I asked them a couple questions. We'll see if it goes any further; if nothing else, my location may kill it. I don't know why I worry and stress so much, this is just the question asking phase; its not like its a drop-in visit that's catching me off guard.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that its the perfect home

ran to town today for supplies and groceries. Stopped at the vet and got a can of KMR powder, its cheaper in the long run than the ready made; and they gave me a sample of Science Diet dry kitten food, I was surprised to see the sample was a 1# bag, most free samples are just a few ounces. His bathroom habits are improving, but he's very stinky and a bit loose, I'm sure due to the liquid diet. I'll get him started on some canned cat food and perhaps the dry kitten food mixed iwht KMR to moisten it. He's over 10 oz now, I have a small tub I can put him in to weigh, as trying to set him on the scale doesn't work too well. I've read that onlies can be biters and he is. I took a couple pics tonight, but too tired to upload right now, so will try to remember tomorrow.

Good luck with the possible buyers for the boys Chanda - keeping my fingers crossed for you. It sounds as though little kitty is progressing well - any guesses as to how old he is?

Thank you. And, my guess when I brought the kitten in was that he was 4 weeks tops, just so tiny and still wobbly on his legs. [my husband was calling him diaper boy, cause when he runs he looks like he's wearing a loaded diaper.]

 

[paintponylvr]

my fingers crossed on the boys as well!

Diaper Boy -

Think I like "Squawky" better,

, myself... Glad he's doing so well.

 

[chandab]

thank you, but so far, I've not heard back from the last inquiry on the boys.

Squawky is just that, squawky, he hardly shuts up. He gets KMR 4x daily, sometimes 5; I try at least once a day to introduce something more solid, but its still no go on that. I let him run around the house a few times a day, then he goes back in the crate to stay safe from the big kitties and give me a chance to get something done around here.

If you don't hear from me, or see that I'm on-line for a few days, it means I killed my computer. I have a virus or something on my computer, and its preventing me from doing many things on the computer. I can't save any pictures people e-mail me, computer tells me they all have a virus. I can't open any files on any of my Yahoo forums, computer tells me they all have a virus. I can't download any anti-viral programs, the computer tells me they all have a virus. You get the picture. The guy I bought my computer from moved to the other end of the state; the guy I bought my old computer from retired; my MIL swears the computer geek that worked on her computer screwed it up; and I live 65 miles from town, so... I'm just going to do a system restore, and since I've never backed up my system to a specific date, that means, I'll be going back to factory settings, which should kill the virus (I hope). [it did last time I got a virus, and accidently did a restore; I did take it to a computer geek and he was only partially helpful in that he told me the restore removed the virus, but I still had to reload everything to my computer, so I'll remove the middle man this time, and just restore, hope it removed the virus, then order anti-viral program, and then reload my software and files (and scan my files before I reload them on the computer). [After I double check that all my software discs are in the box.] Dang I wish I knew what this was and didn't live so far from competent help.

 

[chandab]

So far so good; but now I get script errors on LB forum.

I was able to do a system reboot back to June, and it got rid of the worst of my problem and so far I can open files again.

 

[chandab]

Think I'm finally all fixed up after doing updates, things seem to be working as they should. Now I'm thinking I may have some how downloaded something I shouldn't have, but perhaps it was a virus that worked in that way. Any way, I seem to be good to go.

 

[AnnaC]

Hope you have successfully sorted it - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[chandab]

Wish I would have done the restore sooner, its been a pain in the behind just dealing with the issues; and it was relatively easy to do the restore and move on.

 

[chandab]

I didn't get these downloaded til tonight, but here are some pics of Squawky from last Monday.



He's grown quite a bit since these were taken. Will try to get more soon.

 

[Wings]

He looks so little and fragile. Can't wait to see his grown pics!
